I was too young at the time to be cognizant (big word of the day) of how much Nintendo systems and games cost, so that's cheaper than I thought. I forked over 70 bucks at Toys R Us for Perfect Dark when it came out. The blow was slightly softened by the fact I had a crush on the cashier there. <br /> <br /> Chocolate Bald Bull... Hmmm. We've had gummy snacks shaped like Nintendo characters, now we deserve chocolates shaped like Nintendo characters! They probably have them in Japan. Lucky bastards. Wow, great ad.

Like every other 9-year-old in the US, I had to have one. But my parents weren't about to spoil me- NOOOOOOOO. I had to "earn" it. They made a deal with me that if I earned half by doing chores (read: indentured servitude), they would front the other half. They said it would help me build good character or some crap like that. It took me friggin' 8 months to get $45 bucks while my neighbor, Sherri, got one FOR FREE under the Christmas tree INCLUDING Zelda and Rad Racer.... that bitch. To this day, my parents claim I appreciated my NES much more than Sherri because I had to work for it- yeah right ;) Ahh, the original NES was like liquid crack, or at least what I imagine crack to be like….

I chose it over ZELDA!! WTF???? And to think, one of my earliest game purchases was POPEYE. I chose it over ZELDA!! WTF????

I was told I was lucky enough to get Atari, and that after spending so much money on games for that system, there was no way my parents were going to fork over more money just to start all over. Sigh... I wasn't even offered the Dutch system of earning half. Of course, getting my own VCR was a big day. Must have been about 1987 or so. Best birthday present ever.
